Rams 90-Man Roster Player Preview: Can Wide Receiver Tru Edwards Push for a Final Roster Spot?

When it comes to Rams wide receivers, you have to show a willingness and ability to block. Edwards did that last year in the preseason. On the play above, Edwards blocks through the c-gap and takes on the defensive back while sustaining the block. 

Play 2: Making the Most of His Opportunities

After spending training camp on the PUP list, Edwards needed to make the most of his opportunities in the preseason. Edwards made a series of great catches, including one in traffic that ended up being the game-winner against the Chargers. 

Play 3: Catch of the Year…In the Preseason

Edwards caught two of three contested catch opportunities, but his best came against the Cleveland Browns. He went over the defender, showed good concentration, and came down with the catch along the sideline. 

Biggest Question: Can Tru Edwards Push for a Roster Spot?

In limited offseason opportunities, Edwards showed that he can make plays. If he stays healthy, Edwards could push Presley and Mumpfield for the final roster spot. At the very least, the Rams will have someone that they can feel comfortable calling up if needed.

2026 Outlook/Role

The most likely scenario for Edwards is that he ends up back on the practice squad in his second year. It says a lot that the Rams didn’t sign an undrafted free agent at wide receiver. While they did draft CJ Daniels, the Rams feel good about their developmental wide receivers such as Edwards. 

Chances of Making the Final Roster

It may be unlikely, but it’s not impossible for Edwards to make the final roster as the sixth wide receiver. If the Rams decide to keep six, there will be three players competing for that spot, and Edwards is one of them. Still, the Rams might feel like they can stash Edwards on the practice squad. 

Chances: 3/10
